Reflections on Transcribing

Personally, I find the transcription process fairly interesting. I think part of it is that I just like writing things, even if it's not creative. But part of it at least is interesting because you get to hear the details of what my interviewee was saying. I'm a very detail-oriented person, so when it's my job to listen to the details and make sure everything is perfect, it's pretty awesome. I don't think I heard anything that I didn't notice hearing during the actual interview. I can usually listen pretty well to details. I think that I did enjoy subscribing, but at the same time, I wouldn't of cared if we hadn't done it. Since we did do it, I enjoyed the process and am kind of looking forward to editing, but if we had just done the interview and then not transcribed it, I wouldn't of been disappointed. I think that transcribing is easier for me than it is for other people. I can go through it pretty quickly compared to other people, and I don't usually have a lot of errors. So that probably contributes to why I enjoyed it.
